Well written, doubt any one in the billionaire club is likely to even understand the values you are trying to push. In blasting off to space or making lithium batteries the size of tankards, not once did the billionaire open his eyes to look around at what’s left. Myopic, genius without vision. Maybe they think they can leave us all to burn and set up new life on the European space station. Popping out intermittently to party on Branson’s luxury space flights!! The revolution will come, time for massive law suits against the billionaire polluters of this world. Thank you Greenpeace, Sun of us, Friends of the Earth , etc. We need to support these longstanding voices for nature.

Hopefully the Board of directors will feel the pressure from the shareholders and the youth they hope to have continue to buy their products to change their focus to the triple bottom line. As well many countries don't have Capitalism so we need to have global trading sanctions to make their economy realize the global market value.

One word jumped out at me because I don't remember seeing it in the article--context. The elites and their enablers all exist in the costly Corporate Context, or CorpCon, where we are all required to participate if we want to live the fantasy of affluence and prosperity. In CorpCon the people are threatened with scarcity to keep them doing time on the treadmill. What I believe you are pointing out and what I have experienced for over thirty years, is that we can't have "business as unusual" in the context of Nature, or NatCon. That is the context of our life support systems and which operates on unrestricted flows for the benefit of all. The concept of Business, as it is currently defined and practiced, can only exist in CorpCon, not NatCon. Unless we start over and revisit the original definition and legal incorporation of a group of people under a Corporate Charter, we have only one choice and that is to revoke any charter of a corporation that intentionally harms the planet. There is no time to hesitate.
